Heroes Season [Volume] 2 (#33)---11/26/07-'Truth & Consequences'

[Relique du Madde]

We need to remember that as far as the characters are concerned Sylar is dead and gone. No one is worried about him. So Matt being at work and Mohinder getting a sitter is a reasonable explanation.

Unfortunately I don't buy Matt leaving Moilly alone without supervision for one simple fact: HES A COP. What cop would abandon a 9 year old girl IN NYC without a guardian to watch over her? Especially considering that he was weary of the fact that Company people has been visiting the apartment for the last several weeks.


That of course is overlooking the fact that Foster Services would make sure that someone was there to watch Molly and would take her away the first moment that they call and discover that Mr. Parkman is missing and Mr. Surresh is also unaccounted for.

Oh my god, this episode was terrible. Everyone in this episode fell out of the stupid tree and hit every single branch on the way down. I used to like these characters and enjoyed seeing them overcome the challenges they faced, and now I can't be bothered to care about them because they're acting like complete idiots.

I'll watch next week, since it's the last episode in this arc, but unless it's something truly spectacular, I doubt I'll be back after the strike.

QFT.

Mohinar and Peter have had the proof that the people they trust are lying to them practically shoved up their noses, and they completely ignore it. And why didn't Monica just leave the way she came in? Stupidy squared. Maybe even cubed.

Edit: Oh yeah, and can anyone give me one single solitary reason that the company wouldn't destroy a virus who's only use is to wipe out the Human race, including themselves?

I wish I could believe that, but this isn't the first time this season that the characters have acted like idiots. Far from it.

Unfortunately, this is an episode where the majority of the characters acted like idiots.
1) Monica could easily have decided to leave the house by jumping out a back window, but instead she does through the foyer.
2) Elle decided to park in the same parking lot as the Bennet's when she could have observed them from that bluff behind the parking lot.
3) Peter read their victim's mind without even thinking about reading Adam's mind.
4) Mohinder leaving Molly in Matt's care.
5) Matt leaving to find Linda Pratt even thought he was supposed to watch molly.
6) Mohinder/Matt deciding not to take Molly with him when going on a trip.
7) Alejandro for not calling the cops on Sylar even though he did a web search on Slyar (wtf?) and discovered that Sylar was wanted for murderer..

Okay, if Adam's lying, then we're back to Peter being an idiot, because Adam told him that the company couldn't kill him, and now he's telling him that there's "no coming back" from getting his head blown off.... He's directly contradicting himself and Peter doesn't even get a little suspicious.
I liked Peter better when he wasn't a complete moron.

Hmmm, I don't think so.

I'm at work, so can't watch right now, but I don't think Adam said he couldn't survive a head shot. Pratt may have said that, but I think what Adam said was that he 'hadn't tried that.'

Further, I believe he could in fact survive having his head blown off. It's the blood that heals as we saw with HRG. He hadn't just had his eye poked out with a stick. He was shot. At point blank range. With a large caliber hand gun. The back of his head and most of his brain would have been gone... and for a fairly lengthy bit of time. Yet Claire's blood nearly instantaniously repaired that damage.

I'm at work, so can't watch right now, but I don't think Adam said he couldn't survive a head shot. Pratt may have said that, but I think what Adam said was that he 'hadn't tried that.'

After Adam shot Pratt, he said "She was about to take your head off, Peter. There's no coming back from that."

2) Elle decided to park in the same parking lot as the Bennet's when she could have observed them from that bluff behind the parking lot.

This was quite in character for Elle. She is an idiot. Well, at least very immature. Why would she have thought ahead to being seen by the Bennets? After all, she was in a car! Not standing in the open within sight the family.

7) Alejandro for not calling the cops on Sylar even though he did a web search on Slyar (wtf?) and discovered that Sylar was wanted for murderer..

Uh... Alejandro is an illegal alien in this country. You think the first thing he should do is go running to the cops?

I'll give you the rest, but these two are quite acceptable. IMO.

After Adam shot Pratt, he said "She was about to take your head off, Peter. There's no coming back from that."

Yes, but he's just guessing. (And wrong, as well.)

I'm not sure how tha laws are where ever they were, but in California there is a laws that prohibit a cop from asking for a person's immigration status when they answer a call. These laws vary crom city to city and county to county but they exist as part of the "pro-illegal immigrant" propaganda that has been popping up everywhere.

Also, Alejandro could have easily made a call from an undisclosed location or asked someone else to make it for him (which is a possibility considering HE DID A WEB SEARCH ON SYLAR and he could have easily sent an anonymous tip to the FBI or the local police)

 

[Grog]

Yes, but he's just guessing. (And wrong, as well.)

Again, even if he's lying, or just guessing, he still directly contradicted what he'd said earlier when he told Peter it was impossible for the company to kill him. The fact that that didn't set off any alarm bells with Peter can only mean one of two things:

1. The writers can't even keep the way the regeneration power works consistent from episode to episode.

OR

2. Peter has suddenly become a complete idiot.

Either way, it's bad writing. And far from the only instance of such this season.

Aaaaaand with that---I'm off the Heroes carousel.

It can accumulate on my DVR (next to the pile of unwatched Bionic Woman eps) until the day my wife and I decide to we're bored enough to watch 'em---or we delete them to make room for worthier shows.

Isn't next episode the last episode of this chapter? You can't wait ONE episode?
